Sure should be able to kill all the plains game with a WSM. Took the god grandson in 2013, he took 5 animals, 3 kinda small ones, Impala and Black Wildebeeste and two larger ones, Nyala and Zebra. Used a 308 on everything but the zebra. Used an 06 there, because the PH wanted him to. All except the BWB one shot kills. I have been a couple of times and used a 280, and 06, and 45/70. At the time no real good bullets for the 45/70, so not impressed. A 308, or 280 or something in that range should be great. If using your 7mmWSM, use 140gr bullets, Ttsx or Swifts, and it'll kill like lightening. 160s more than needed, and on small stuff like a Steenbok, at 20 lbs, over kill and a half. I shot my steenboks with a 280 and 140gr Ttsx and one with a BT, and both hit the ground like something dropped on them. Go have fun. Don't take a 375 or some monster masher as definitely not needed. MOST African plains game about the size of a whitetail deer, pronghorn or larger Muley.
